Melancholy

Well, that's that. Last night I took down all the Christmas decorations, packed them into their boxes and into the cupboard. Dusted the tree and packed it away, ditto for the singing santas and harley davidson santa - yes, kitch reigns over the festive season.
It's a sad occasion, not least because I always do it alone. Setting up is such fun. There's always someone there to help, the Christmas CDs are playing and it's all about anticipation, now it's just a fond memory.
So, only 352 shopping days to Christmas!

So happy to see you now have a blog. I know I will love reading it, in fact I already do! You are simply not organised with taking down the decorations. My husband did it all while I was destroying my old diary and filling in stuff in my new one! I think it's a Virgo thing and it had some kind of Feng Shui meaning for him. Who cares for the reason...it got me off the hook. There is nothing more depressing than taking down Christmas decorations. And howcome they look so tatty when you take them down, and so beautiful when you put them up?

Guilty as charged, I too am a Virgo
